Being unlucky

​

Most sane people would agree that the greatest burden of suffering and misfortune from any crime, falls on the victims of crime.

 

Never the less, it can also be said that any criminal is more than just a tad unlucky to be suffering from a lack of Life-qualities - which would otherwise steer him or her well way from even wanting to commit a crime or wrongdoing in the first place.

 

Therefore, it can be reasonably argued that both victim and offender in any crime, are indeed, unlucky.

​

Never the less, let it be clear and total; the responsibility for committing a crime or wrong is with the offender; just as the responsibility for healing any Life-qualities that have been damaged by any offence, is with the victim and his or her trusted family, friends, or community.

​

Note: If someone has been victimised, but is in victim denial, by trying to self-deny that the crime is harmful to them (or others), then he or she will be less likely to try and protect themselves (or others) from similar crimes or harmful situations - and thus will continue their "unluckiness." 

​

​

In addition to recognizing that compared to most law-abiding people, most criminals have indeed been a tad unlucky too, then the question is; what can they do to reduce their un-luckiness by trying get away from crime instead of trying to get away with it?

​

Exercises:

​

1: Make a list of any Life-qualities that may have been damaged or neglected by your self or others.

 

2: Make a commitment in your life, to re-claim and recuperate those Life qualities. 

​

3: Practice any reclaimed Life-quality by including it in your daily lifestyle.
